At the Bergen County hamfest in NNJ (BARA). It's a BK Precision 1420 (couldn't find an image on the web) -- 15 MHz plus*, dual trace. It's small and light and runs off of 12v. Just what I've wanted for modulation monitoring when going AM mobile! Cost me $75 at the hamfest -- the guy said 95 but readily accepted 75. Dunno what the "going rate" generally is currently is.
One unique feature (well, new to me anyway) is it automatically switches from "chop" to alternate at the appropriate sweep rate.
It's got a built-in lead-acid battery that, of couse, is now kaput. No biggie...can power it from the car or use an external sealed battery.
Maybe this'll be the kick in the butt I need to get one of my AM mobile radios on the road.
*15 MHz for calibration specs. Usable to higher frequencies.
